That makes perfect sense. I hate it when people ask my name. It is always a 50/50 chance I will get the word out without anyone noticing my stutter. Whats worse is the times people notice the telltale signs of me struggling (shutting my eyes, hesitation, my mouth open without any words coming out, etc) and will feel bad for being the reason for me stuttering at that moment. I work around seniors and hate it whenever I am the reason for them to feel uncomfortable, they are my family and I don’t like seeing them concerned for me. Then like you said, that you have a hidden crazy/outgoing personality, I can totally relate. I have a mild stutter and so at times I can be fluent and tend to get kinda crazy sometimes. My friends and parents say I am like jackyl and Hyde a lot because I’m either calm, quiet and keep to myself or hyper and talking a thousand miles an hour.
